About the Role

The HARMAN EPIC (Early Pursuits with Innovative Concepts) experience team is responsible for the Harman’s Car Audio innovation process and creates new car audio concept’s that are used to grow Harman’s position as an industry leader in the premium automotive audio space. Often these concepts are build into a concept vehicle. The EPIC team supports all HARMAN automotive brands with strong iconic perceptual in-car audio experiences created with understanding and respect for each brand’s DNA - based on creativity, innovation and new technologies and research within acoustic, sound field control, simulations, interaction, materials, mechanical design and user-friendly user interfaces.

The EPIC team primarily works on new concepts to support sales pitches towards OEM customers OR as generic concepts to be showcased at CES and similar tech events. The EPIC experience team owns most parts of the conceptual work if not all, including the user experience, system design, software components, hardware components, acoustic tuning, trim parts and fabrication of the demo car.

The EPIC experience team is a highly competent team of 70+ people including technical fellows & distinguished engineers located in 6 countries (US, Denmark, Germany, India, Japan and China) across domains of user experience, system design, hardware, software and acoustics. The EPIC software team in Bangalore will be working closely together with the global project teams on application development as well as embedded software solutions and the team is now around 10 people.

If you are interested in working in a global creative environment where the end-user experience is your main focus and you bring an innovative and solution oriented mindset you might be the perfect candidate for this role.

For most concept cars / demonstrators, there is a front-end android application (HMI) involved either simulated on a tablet OR in vehicle head unit (IVI). Also we are developing full system setups with headunits, amplifiers, touch screens etc and we are responsible for all the software needed for these demonstrators.
